Kot Bala

Kot Bala

Kot Bala (Urdu: کوٹ بالا) is located in Lasbela District, Balochistan, Pakistan.

The Indus Civilization site of Kot Bala is located in the interior of the Sonmiani Bay, along the Lasbela coast. It was partly excavated by Professor George F. Dales of the University of California, Berkeley in the 1970s and was never published in detail. This site was of great importance due to its close proximity to the Arabian Sea, and is believed to have been of the main harbours from which the Indus traders sailed their ships to the coasts of the Arabian Peninsula.
